Fiber cable fan-out assembly and method

摘要

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a multi-fiber cable assembly including a multi-fiber cable. The multi-fiber cable includes a block of optical fiber ribbons, the block having an external profile; a strength layer surrounding the optical fiber ribbons; a jacket surrounding the strength layer; and a fan-out arrangement disposed at a first end of the multi-fiber cable. The fan-out arrangement includes an outer shell extending from a first end to a second end, the outer shell including a first interior mounting location spaced axially from a second interior mounting location; an orientation plug defining a longitudinal through-passage through which the block of optical fiber ribbons extends, the through-passage having an internal profile that inhibits rotation of the block of optical fiber ribbons, the orientation plug including a keying arrangement that axially and rotationally fixes the orientation plug to the outer shell at the first interior mounting location; and a furcation tube assembly axially and rotationally fixed to the outer shell at the second interior mounting location, the furcation tube assembly includes a plurality of furcation tube arrangements mounted to an organizer.
